ITP

Stepping out of the elevator onto the ITP (Interactive Telecommunications Program) floor can feel like a brief detour from reality into hyperreality. This 15,000-square-foot complex in a turn-of-the-century industrial loft has been transformed into a high-tech studio devoted to exploring the intersection of art and engineering. Students here crowd around lab benches, fill wheeled whiteboards and sketch pads, program 3D printers, and wield power tools to explore the next frontier of interactive technology. Students can take advantage of a wide variety of digital production equipment including high-end Mac and PC multimedia workstations; and digital audio, video, and MIDI workstations with the latest software. Our construction workshop for physical prototyping includes a machine shop, firmware programming stations, and electronics prototyping tools.
